Every year around this time, I hear this from my diabetic patients —
“Doctor, Diwali aa rahi hai… can I eat sweets? Or should I skip everything?”
And my answer is always the same — ✨ You don’t have to quit your favourite food. You just have to eat it consciously.
Diabetes is not about deprivation. It’s about discipline, balance, and awareness. Here’s how you can celebrate without guilt 👇 ✅ Choose homemade, less sugary sweets (made with jaggery, dates, or nuts). ✅ Eat sweets after meals, not on an empty stomach. ✅ Pair your mithai with fiber-rich food and walk after meals. ✅ Stay hydrated and don’t let late nights disturb your sugar balance.
Because festivals are meant to be celebrated — not feared. Let’s enjoy this Diwali with health, happiness, and self-control shining equally bright. 🌸✨
